2, O.rono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 10, 1982 S-ccnd CleBs Mai! Registration NumberOffl6g Publlshed Evex7 Wednesday t the office of Publication Main eStreet, Orono Roy C Forresýter. Edigor The issue of the public works settlement proved to be no more than a Iocalized vocal protest which ap- pears to have had littie bearing on the outcomne of the election. Those voting for t-be settiement, Councs. Taylor, Cowmnan, Hubbard and Hamnre were ail return- ed to office with Taylor taking a large edge over his competition in the Darlington Ward. Cowman also had a comfortable lead. There was certainly no great protest as to the ac- tions of council over the past two years. The 1981-82 counicil warranted the vote of con- fidence given them. They have tightened up administra- tion through the employment of competent staff who have, in most cases, been given the opportunity to apply their expertise to the job before themi. This bas been a big step in the Town of Newcastle. Further the 1981-82 council bas control and knowledge of their financial affairs and it would be ex- tremely surprising if such would happen as did with their predecessor. And contrary to a lot of beliefs they can work together ini a common effort. A team effort can develop with this counicil. The five have been rewarded at the polis as they should have been and we can now hope for better things in the Town of Newcastle over the next three years. To ail candidates 'whether for council, school boards or hydro we must express our appreciation for placing before the electorate a choice and their will- ingness to serve the community in one, capacity or another. For this we are appreciative. 11 0f considerable interest in Ward Three was the abundance of quality candidates for school trustee and there certainly was a lot of effort put into the campaign by the great majority of these candidates. It is a bealthy sign for our democratic system and although some were not successful this time around there will be other such opportunities. The electorate have made their decision and as such it rests for the next three years. Now back to the norm for that period of time. C t7 ~~~-~7M IN SUPPORT 0F COUNCIL It does appear that the electorate in their choice of candidates for council at the polis on Monday did support the direction and actions of the 1981-82 council and by so doing have returned five of the seven to office for a further three year term. Conce. Woodyard and Counc. Prout were the only two casualties of the election and the Prout- Hubbard race had to at least eliminate one of the in- cumbents. OBITUARY WILLIAM W.

Letter tu Editor Last week 1 needed to con- tact the Orono Library in order to inquire about a book. 1 therefore consulted the phone book and looked under, Orono Library. No such number. 0f course, it must be listed under, Town of Newcastle. No sucb number. Ah!! I know, the blue pages!!

Somne places farther nortb had squaw winter Friday night and on Sunday morning the ground was stiff 50 now we can look forward to In- dian Summer in November. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as bis scripture reading Deuteronomy 32: 7-14 and St. John 15: 10-15. He said that today mnany of us were wearing a poppy. A reminder that manty of those that went away did flot return. Some memories were sad indeed. In our scripture rcading Moses told the Israelites to "Remember the days of old." What had they to remnember? Four hunidred years of slavery, fourty years in the wilderness, then fighting to capture the "Prô-ý mised Land." One City was destroyed aIl but a brick wal, on it some one had wvritten, "Heaven and earth shall pass away but myword shall neyer pass away."e We in Canada wcre blessed in victory, no bombs explod- cd here,' there were no sipers on our street corners, no con- centraion camps here. In Europe many were forc- cd to leave their homes when Letter to Editor Dear Roy: As Postmastcr, 1 get many enquiries about mail delivery especially during the Christmas season.
